Love You Can’t Say

Leo sneered, “She was just faking a seemingly convincing story in front of the public…”

Dennis, together with Olivia, greeted both Luna and Samuel. And then Luna whispered to Samuel, whose voice was too small to be heard.

But then Samuel stared at Olivia with a sharp change of his expression. His tough-looking face suddenly turned to be pleasantly surprised as if he had just retrieved something precious. Then he gazed at Olivia dotingly.

I was rendered quite confused when seeing that. Leo said to me weirdly, “Olivia is exactly the kid Luna has been looking for during the past two decades. She is her mother while Samuel is her father.”

I was shocked with my mouth wide open. Olivia was actually their daughter?

But I had never heard about it before.

When Luna and Samuel finished their conversation, they both turned to look at Leo and me. While gazing at me, Samuel seemed to be a bit surprised.

Luna seemed to notice what was in his mind. She whispered to him and then Samuel regained his calmness.

Leo let go of me and walked over to greet Samuel.

As soon as I was free, I hurried to look for Dennis. But he seemed to disappear after greeting Samuel just now.

I looked around and found someone familiar. It was Luis! So I walked over.

Luis paused for a second out of surprise. Then he greeted, “Welcome!”

I couldn’t help asking while noticing his pale looking face, “Why do you look so haggard on your mom’s birthday? I just heard that you mom has found her missing girl. Why don’t you go to meet your sister?”

“For what?” said Luis, looking a bit desolate, “She has laid all her care on her daughter. I am just a nobody born out of coincidence.”

I could tell how aggrieved he was. I took a plate of cheese and said, “Every sibling would be treasured by their parents. After all, her daughter has gone missing for more than two decades. The one lost and found always counts the most. You will retrieve what you deserve after this.”

He sneered and fixed his eyes on the cheese, “I would like to make you my sister instead of Olivia. She appears to be too scheming. I don’t think it would be anything worth celebration to have her stay in L Community. ”

I was a bit stunned. Then I chuckled, “Is it something easy-peasy to be your sister?”

He cast a wry glimpse at me as if I were a fool, “Come on, don’t be silly. Do you reckon that my mom came to you that day for a common talk only?”

I was confused though I knew it might have something to do with the banquet tonight, “What do you mean?”

Though I was puzzled by the questions Luna asked today, I didn’t actually notice something special.

Not until then did I realize something suspicious.

“Huh,” he wore a wry smile still, “I just can’t figure out why Dennis chose to marry such a dull lady like you. I have told you before that you look alike my mom. And so do Olivia. Do you just deem it a coincidence?”

I frowned, “I am still confused?”

He rolled his eyes, “I mean my mom has got both your DNA and Olivia’s for paternity test before.”

Then he continued, looking a bit doubtful, “At the beginning, I assumed that you should be her missing daughter. However, it turns out to be the fact that it was Olivia.”

Now I was flooded with all kinds of doubts. I looked around the lobby and reckoned we should get to somewhere else to continue the talk. So I dragged on his arm to lead him to the corridor outside and then we entered a tea room.

I asked seriously, “You stole my DNA for test just because I look like your mother?”

He pouted, “Of course not! My mom has been searching for more than two decades. She would never persist if she found no clue. Both you and Olivia share a lot in common regarding your past. So my mom wasn’t sure which one of you would be her daughter. That was why she asked Dennis to take you and Olivia to her respectively. And then she went for the test of DNA.”

The similar parts of my past and Olivia’s wasn’t the one which intrigued me the most. Instead, I was much more surprised to know that Dennis took me to meet Luna before not because of doing Diana a favor. The fact was that he was just doing Luna a favor.

But I had been kept in the dark from the beginning to the end.

“Did Olivia know about this at the very beginning?” I asked, feeling upset.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

He nodded, “I suppose Dennis has mentioned about it to her before. And she then appears to be close to my mom. So perhaps she has known it.”

I felt like letting out a bitter smile as I was the only one being played with.

My expression seemed to be frozen. I felt like being a fool, being fooled around till the end.

As Luis noticed my doleful look, he paused. But then he shied away from sentiment as he seemed to notice something important. Then he said to me sympathetically, “There is no need to be too sentimental. They kept you in the dark out of concern about you. Perhaps they were worried if you would overdo it. And no one was sure about that. So…”

“So I should be kept in the dark like a fool and you take it for granted?” I was really upset.

He frowned, “Clara, you know I don’t mean that.”

“No!” I huffed and got out of the tea room. I perceived that I would be away from harm if I showed enough kindness and trust to others. But the fact told me that I was too innocent to get away from harm! I still suffered from what I deserved!

The lobby was crowded with all guests, among whom there were the powerful and the rich. Olivia, being the most eye-catching one, followed both Luna and Samuel, who were introducing her to every guest they met. It looked warm and nice.

There was no doubt that someone was born to be blessed.

I collected myself and wandered around the catering area. After all, starvation was the easiest one to be removed among all these sentiments bothering me. What was more, I couldn’t starve my baby.

However, I accidentally bumped into someone as I was still lost in thought. The cream cake rolled on the plate and stained someone’s suit.

“Sorry, I…” I raised up my head and happened to see Marcus’s cold and mocking face.

I chilled myself and took back my apology. I knew a simply sorry would never work. And it might even trigger a quarrel.

Though I wanted to stay away from troubles, Marcus didn’t. He sneered while looking at me, “Clara, are you really mad at this moment? Olivia is the daughter of Luna. So a big change of her life will definitely expect her. You, a nobody from a filthy slum, could never be the match of a refined gentleman like Dennis no matter how hard you struggle.”

I put down the plate and furrowed my brows, “Yeah, I don’t deserve to be the match. So you want this opportunity?”

“You…” he was about to refute out of madness.

I casually interrupted, “I have married him and we now have our own baby. Mr. Thomson, you try so hard to mock me out of self-abasement because you deem yourself that you could never be qualified to be with Olivia, right? So you come to me to vent out your madness?”

“Bullshit!” he was so pissed that he took off his suit jacket and threw it to me, “Get it clean!”
